Investigation ongoing regarding found male body near Bainville

Published on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 7:06 PM MST

On Friday, the Fort Peck Tribes/Roosevelt County 911 Dispatch Center received an emergency call regarding a male body being found in a ditch along U.S. Highway 2, near mile marker 653.

A Roosevelt County deputy responded to the scene and discovered a deceased male in the ditch along US Highway 2. A Roosevelt County deputy coroner and additional sheriff’s office personnel responded to the scene to assist.

The Montana Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation was contacted by Sheriff Freedom Crawford for assistance in the investigation. Law enforcement authorities spent two days processing the scene where the body was discovered. One lane of traffic on U.S. Highway 2 was blocked during that time.

The body was transported from the scene to the forensic examiner’s office for an autopsy. U.S. Highway 2 was reopened on Sunday.

No additional details are available at this time.
